Plains Garter Snake. 11/3/13 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
I had assumed that the garter snakes I had been seeing at the Park had all been Easterns. After rechecking my photographs I discovered that more than half of them were actually Plains Garter Snakes. This photo shows one that was found along the Stone Brooke spur this month (3 Nov). The best way to tell the two species apart is by noting where the light lateral line is located. On the Plains, the lateral line is found on the 3rd and 4th scale rows, counting up from the ventral (belly) scales. On the Eastern, the lateral line is found on the 2nd and 3rd scale rows.
October 2013 - Ada Hayden Heritage Park
A total of 98 (plus 3 sp.) avian species was recorded this month, ranking this month as the 3rd highest October (tied with October 2006) among 16 years of records.
Based on citations in the 3rd Edition of “The Birds of Story County, Iowa,” by Stephen J. Dinsmore and Hank Zaletel (2001), plus my personal updates to the records, the Ovenbird sighting on the 2nd ties the late Fall record set in 1983 (Brookside Park) for Story County. The Mourning Warbler on the 4th and the Blackpoll Warbler on the 7th may set new late Fall records (30 Sep 86 at Brookside Park and 2 Oct 09 at AHHP, respectively).
Listed below, following the species’ names, are the date(s) of sighting(s), plus the occasional miscellaneous information regarding numbers, gender (♂=male, ♀=female), age (im=immature, ju=juvenile, abp=adult breeding plumage, ad=adult, anb=adult non-breeding), color phase (b=blue, w=white), and location (BY=back yard). ). The order follows the 53rd Supplement (2012) to the American Ornithologists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds and the 12th Supplement to the 7th Edition (1998).
